Heroes Fund Scholarship (HFS)

Liberty University is proud of our country’s heroes who have given so much for our freedom. We know that this freedom comes at a high price for many.

To show appreciation for the service members who have been wounded while protecting our freedom, Liberty University has created the Heroes Fund Scholarship (HFS).

To review eligibility, the application process, or application requirements, visit our Heroes Fund Scholarship page.


The Heroes Fund Scholarship is offered to service members and honorably discharged veterans who are a recipient of the prestigious Purple Heart or have been rated 50-100% disabled by the Department of Veterans Affairs for “combat-related” Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or “combat-related” injury, illness, or condition. Eligibility also extends to military spouses whose spouse was killed in action. The Heroes Fund Scholarship may only be used for a student’s first Associate’s, Bachelor’s, or Master’s degree or the first certificate of one of these levels. Additional requirements exist and all requirements are listed below.

  • Changes in what the HFS may or may not cover is subject to change between semesters without any advance notice.
